Among the may points cited were a note that Licht was a trusted Bill Belicheat right hand on draft day.

Michael Holley, the one-time Chicago Tribune columnist, has written two books on Belichick’s football philosophies. The first, “Patriot Reign,” was a yearlong fly-on-the-wall study of Belichick’s team and included this throwaway line from observing the team’s draft room, on page 169, that worried Bears fans might find interesting:

“Jason Licht was nearby, prepared to answer any questions about players or draft trends.”

So I guess he was in The Room. Crisis of faith averted. Not that it means anything, but I fully understand the Bears fan’s tender psyche. This isn’t the Patriots.

Of course, Bucs fans will learn a lot more about Licht in the coming days. The BSPN piece linked above speculates Licht is a feather-ruffling, aggressive kind of guy. We’ll see.

I think the Glazers are doing things right (finally). I am excited and really confident going in to next season, between all the experience the staff has and the talent on the roster, it should be a great year.

In the past I think the Glazers relied on Dominicks opinion on players far too much. Glad to see they are finally making better decisions. At least on paper these hires look much better than Schiano staff of misfit coaches. Finally an off season that looks bright!

I agree with ya there Realist. I’m still excited for FA and the draft. What else to do we have to look forward to? Not much right now. I’m just not expecting any of it to translate into wins. This team needs help badly. I wonder who’s fault it is? lol

My favorite part of that story,
“But from what I’ve heard, Licht not only knows how to scout college talent — they have a distinct system in New England that seems to work — but he’s adept at the complicated world of managing the collective bargaining agreement and all the other minutiae that go into this job. He also has scouts and young executives ready to follow him to Chicago, which is looked at as a sleeping giant to implement fresh ideas.”

Glad he is now at the helm, Welcome aboard. I have been even keeled about Coach Smith Hire, I totally respect Him as a Great coach. He has had a chance to interview our new GM Licht, while with Chicago. I think this is an advantage to them both. Having already discussed Ideas plans on building a team together with the draft and FA will be very productive for all of us as Buc Fans. I am growing excited to finally move forward not side to side. A fresh idea indeed.
Go Bucs!!
